Along with its associated proteinaceous structures, it also ensures cell stability, facilitates motility, mediates adherence to biotic and abiotic surfaces, and facilitates communication with the extracellular environment. Viruses have evolved to take advantage of cell envelope constituents to gain access to the cellular interior as well as for egress from the cell. While many aspects of the biosynthesis and structure of the cell envelope are similar across domains, archaeal cell envelopes have several unique characteristics including, among others, an isoprenoid lipid bilayer, a non-murein-based cell wall, and a unique motility structure, important features that give archaeal cell envelopes characteristics that are significantly different from those of bacterial cell envelopes. Recent analyses have revealed that the cell envelopes of distantly related archaea also display an immense diversity of characteristics. For instance, while many archaea have an S-layer, the subunits of S-layers of various archaeal species, as well as their posttranslational modifications, vary significantly. Moreover, like gram-negative bacteria, recent studies have shown that some archaeal species also have an outer membrane. In this collection of articles, we include contributions that focus on research that has expanded our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the biogenesis and functions of archaeal cell envelopes and their constituent surface structures. 410 0$aFrontiers research topics. 410 0$aFrontiers in microbiology. 606 $aArchaebacteria 606 $aMicrobiology 610 $apili 610 $amembrane 610 $aBiofilms 610 $ahami 610 $aArchaea 610 $aS-layer 610 $aCytochromes 610 $aSurface structures 610 $aFlagella 610 $aarchaella 615 0$aArchaebacteria. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 700 $aMecky Pohlschroder$4auth$01365749 702 $aAlbers$b Sonja-Verena 702 $aPohlschroder$b Mechthild 712 02$aFrontiers Research Foundation, 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136802903321 996 $aArchaeal cell envelope and surface structures$93387923 997 $aUNINA
